Maybe Ollie North can help them.

I'm getting more and more worried too, especially when you see the distance between Milwaukee and us that has opened up in a year, mostly because of their added starting pitching. Our pitching needs major overhaul. I see us needing another starter and probably three bullpen arms from outside. In the near term, I hope Wood and maybe also LeCure get starts before the end of the season.
